ISM 824 Integration Scaling Multiswitcher • HTML Operation 6-2
HTML Operation
The multiswitcher can be controlled and operated through its LAN port, connected
via a LAN or WAN, using a web browser such as Microsoft’s ® Internet Explorer ®
or the Firefox ® browser. The browser’s display of the multiswitcher’s status or
operation has the appearance of web pages. This chapter describes the factory-
installed HTML pages, which are always available and cannot be erased or
overwritten.
N If your Ethernet connection to the ISM 824 is unstable, try turning off the
proxy server in your Web browser. In Microsoft’s Internet Explore, click Tools
> Internet Options > Connections > LAN Settings, uncheck the “Use a proxy
server...” box, and then click OK.
Downloading the Startup Page
To access the ISM 824 using HTML pages do the following:
1 . Start the Web browser program.
2 . Click in the browser’s Address field.
3 . Enter the unit’s IP address in the browser’s Address field.
N If the local system administrators have not changed the value, the factory-
specified default, 192.168.254.254, is the correct value for this field.
4 . If you want the browser to display a page other than the default page (such as
a custom page that you have uploaded), enter a slash (/) and the file name to
open.
N The browser’s Address field should display the address in the following format:
xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/ {optional_file_name.html}.
N The following characters are invalid in file names:
{space} + ~ , @ = ‘ [ ] { } < > ’ “ ; : | \ and ?.
5 . Press the keyboard’s Enter key. The switcher checks to see if it is password
protected.
If the switcher is not password protected, proceed to step 7.
If the switcher is password protected, the switcher downloads the Enter
Network Password page (figure 6-1).

password. Click the OK button.

then responds accordingly:
•
Does the address include a specific file name, such as 10.13.192.32/
file_name.html? If so, the switcher downloads that HTML page.
